Default CBD gummies

I don't post here often but this is something I want to share since it is such a positive medicine for me.

I have very disruptive muscle spasms that jerk my right leg in a jolt every 20 seconds and have become painful.

The spasm usually begins in the late afternoon through the evening. If I get up and "move around," they may abate for a while but sometimes nothing will stop the movement.

When I lay in bed to read and sleep, lots of spasms. If the spasm does stop and I fall asleep, the spasm will wake me anywhere from 1 AM to 3 AM and continue every 20 seconds for hours on end.

I take baclofen and it sorta kinda works. Better than left untreated.

In California marijuana is legal so I will smoke and it will relax the spasm but since the effect of pot lasts for about 1/2 hour, the spasm will often return.

Enter CBD gummies. My marijuana representive comes to my apartment whenever I need to replenish either my bud or vape pen supply.

Last time he left samples of an edible CBD gummy for me to try. I ate two and had the best night of sleep in over six years. It could have been a coincidence. Second night, same experience. Third night, no gummies and a typical spasm night. Fourth night, two gummies and restful sleep through the night. Night six, I tried one gummy, not as restful.

So now I take two gummies per night and I have uninterrupted sleep.

If you live in a state where marijuana is legal, you can PM me and will share the website. The company sells HBD water so I may do two things at once...stay hydrated and quell the spasm beast.

Oh and a side note on CBD gummies. No THC so no high effect. When I experimented with the gummies during the day, no high. Totally unpopular with anyone looking for a buzz.

Hi Cyn!

I could have written that description of leg spasms. I get them every single night especially in my left leg. It's maddening.

Last night was no different. Now my leg feels like I did the leg press machine that I used to do at the gym! Too bad the end results aren't the same.

I'm glad you found such a great product that actually works! Baclofen just doesn't cut it when the spasms get really bad.

Cannabis oil is now legal in GA if you can get a physician to prescribe it. I wonder if the gummies would be covered, too? I would LOVE to try them.

Thanks for sharing this......it could potentially help lots of MSers who suffer with these spasms.

Hi sweet Kitty!

Marijuana is often made out to be a panacea. However studies show that cannabis is effective for nausea with cancer patients and large motor spasms connected with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.

On the web I have often seen videos of children using a CBD product. The most recent was an autistic girl who pummeled herself uncontrollably. The parents would hold her down and use a breathing mask with marijuana smoke to calm the urge of brutal self harm.

I can relate to self harm because my spasms are not only disruptive of my sleep but the spasm creates muscle fatigue and pain.

I just hope anyone who fears marijuana may look at it in a new light.

10 mg "nano amplified " CBD per gummy.

The instructions on the label say one gummy per day.

Does not contain yeast, wheat, dairy, eggs, or peanuts. No artificial flavors or preservatives.

No doubt about it, it is more expensive than baclofen. And baclofen is a hit or miss to relieve my spasms. It also relaxes my bladder spasms during the night. Expensive, yes but my sleep is precious to me and this is the first drug that actually adds to my quality of life.

I think it can be purchased and mailed across state lines since it has no THC in the product.

I didn't realize they had legalized cannabis oil in ga. I know from a youthful experience that I am allergic to marijuana, but no way of knowing what in it is the issue. But seeing as I'm going to pain management once I find one that accepts my insurance i just might ask about the oil or gummies before jumping to the surgical route.

Also.

The next time my marijuana representative comes, I plan to try a CBD cartridge for my vape pen. Plus, a vape pen is more cost effective. $50 for over 100+ draws and no high. Like taking aspirin.

What a treat it would be to have a medical "as needed" treatment that would allow me to sit with my feet up while watching tv. My spasms do not let me relax in this manner.

And...this CBD company needs to pay me (preferably in gummies!) for this thread! 😄

No, Green Roads World. I admit, it was because they look like frogs. We'll see when they get here if they're worth it.
